"Red Cliff" Breaks Opening-Weekend Box Office Record

John Woo's historical epic "Red Cliff," reportedly the most expensive film ever made in Asia, has earned 108 million yuan (US$15.78 million) in the Chinese mainland since its cinema debut on Thursday. The opening weekend box office takings are a record for a Chinese film, compared to other domestic blockbusters such as Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower"(96 million yuan) and Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". "Red Cliff" beat the Dreamworks production, "Kung Fu Panda," which earned about 50 million yuan in ticket sales on the opening weekend. It also opened strongly in Taiwan, Hong Kong and elsewhere in Asia, including South Korea and Singapore, taking in a total of 25 million U.S. dollars across Asia.
